Horseradish ice cream

Pepparrotsglass

Freshly grated horseradish is extremely popular in Sweden and is often served with fish, but horseradish ice cream... Crazy eh?

Well, I don't think I would like a cone of horseradish ice cream, but with beetroot, walnuts and goat's cheese it is a superb combination and it looks really stylish. In fact, the combination of ingredients is popular in Sweden, although horseradish ice cream is unusual.

As a nice bonus, everything can be prepared in advance and just assembled at the last moment. Of course, if you serve it with some nice crusty bread it also makes a fantastic summer lunch. John Duxbury

Tips

Tips

• If you can't get fresh horseradish, use ready-made hot horseradish sauce instead and omit the hot water, vinegar and cream.

• Liquid glucose (sometimes called glucose syrup) is widely available, although if you can't find it you could substitute corn syrup, but NOT glycerine, which is entirely different.• Choose small beetroots and lightly steam them. I prefer different colours, but that is only for an interesting visual appearance.
